Tokyo Cooking Studio

What an amazing and fun experience! I did the Ramen making class with my husband and we had a great time. We met so many wonderful people during this experience and spent the rest of the day with them exploring Tokyo! The instructor was so kind and insightful ! We learned a lot and the food was amazing! She served dessert after with some sake! Highly recommend !!

A wonderfully fun experience! Yukari-san is truly an amazing host - warm, lively and knowledgeable. You will learn so much more than cooking during her session. Highly recommended!

A fantastic day. Firstly, experiencing a Japanese grocery store and understanding all the ingredients. Then learning cooking techniques. Yukari explained everything clearly and well, it was good fun. A great little group from all over the world. The dishes were delicious and Yukari organised alternative ingredients for a few items that I don’t eat. Highly recommend.

We took the From Market to Meal class on our 2nd full day in Japan, and I can already tell it will be one of the top highlights of our 2 week trip. Yukari is an amazing teacher and we had so much fun with her.

Located in a very residential part of Shibuya, the studio is converted from an old garage. We meet the very jovial Yukari-San, who studied cooking in New Orleans and San Francisco before returning to her home country. The space is extremely well laid out and it can accommodate up to 8 students (my best guess), and we have a full class today. We start with green tea and then get put to work. Aprons on, we make almost everything from scratch, including the ramen broth!. Each one takes turns doing prep, chopping, mixing, dumpling stuffing, which went into the ramen broth, gyoza, and black sesame ice cream (using tahini made from black sesame seeds). We each prepare our own bowl, cooking our noodles, ladling the broth, adding the toppings, etc. Yukari-San takes out some Yuzu chili sauce (yuzukosho), which I fell in love with. There is even sake flavored with yuzu. All very delicious!!! Yukari-san shared a wealth of information, made it understandable to everyone in the class, even those who knew little about japanese cooking. She explained the origin of the dishes and their ingredients. I learned so much. Absolutely everyone visit Tokyo would enjoy this experience. Highly recommended,

We absolutely LOVED this experience! Perfect for couples and solo travelers looking to get to meet others and try a range of delicious foods! It was a great opportunity to ask questions in English that might be too difficult/embarrassing to ask in a restaurant. Would recommend to anyone who wants to try new Japanese foods.

This was one of our favorite days in Japan - Yukari did an incredible job explaining the ingredients and where they come from, and instructing us on Japanese cooking techniques and food culture. We were inspired to recreate some of her recipes at home! It was a ton of fun getting to know the other people in the group and learn about how each of them related to Japanese cuisine. Yukari made an effort to get to know each of us and took time to give us other recommendations around Tokyo as well. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Tokyo!

Awesome day learning about Japanese food culture, hands on cooking then so much delish food and sake! One of best days of our honeymoon in Tokyo
